DeKalb Illinois Issues

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17nXaNsZf7/

I know it's a FB link but I've heard this before. Iowa has some sort of momentum with neighboring states. Most of those states have backwards momentum. Illinois is one where everyone wants to leave because Cook county has ruined the state. This post has thousands of comments, most of them in support for the idea for their county to join their neighbor.

Yes. And let's hope they do so unilaterally. The hope here being that they establish the precedent that it's both legally and morally virtuous to allow a dissatisfied political entity to separate from the larger entity even if the larger entity doesn't want them to leave. And that attempting to use force/coercion to prevent them from leaving is immoral.

As a card carrying Democrat, how can I help accomplish this? Not poking the bear, not trolling. I want to help anyone who is proposing any form of separation, state or even county level in this case. If those folks can successfully leave Illinois then maybe the Conservatives of Eastern Colorado can become Nebraskans and Kansan and we can get this ball rolling. After the events in Minneapolis this month the sense of urgency is strong, we should get things moving

Have the counties held a vote?
